One of the top PlayStation sales of the year is coming to an end soon: Days of Play kicked off May 25 and ends this Wednesday, June 9. Sony's annual sale on PlayStation games and accessories always takes place ahead of E3 each summer, and all the major retailers get in on the action as well, including Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and GameStop. That means you can pick up cheap PS4 and PS5 games whether you prefer to buy physically or digitally. Days of Play 2021 ends tomorrow night, so be sure to browse what's on offer and grab anything on your wishlist before then.

This year's Days of Play sale is underwhelming in some ways--there are only a couple of accessory deals, and many of the older PS4 games can be played for free if you're a PS5 owner with PlayStation Plus. Unsurprisingly, there are no console deals, not even a big PS5 restock. And though there are some official PS Plus offers--$45 for a 12-month subscription--you can snag a much better deal over at eBay right now. However, Days of Play 2021 notably features some of the first discounts we've seen on PS5 launch titles like Demon's Souls and Spider-Man: Miles Morales. And when it comes to the digital PlayStation Store sale, you have a huge amount of deals from third-party studios to take advantage of. Check out all the best deals and offers in this year's Days of Play sale below, and catch up on everything to know about E3 2021 as publishers gear up for this summer's digital showcases.

Days of Play Sales 2021

Every major retailer is getting in on Days of Play 2021 with a slew of steep discounts on PS4 and PS5 games, accessories, and more. You can shop PlayStation deals at specific stores below.

Days of Play: Best Game Deals

Days of Play's game deals include a handful of PS5 game deals that are definitely worth checking out, as we may not see these games for much cheaper before Black Friday (though there's a chance Amazon Prime Day will bring some surprise discounts). The PS5's $70 first-party games and bundles--Demon's Souls, MLB The Show 2021, Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Launch Edition, and The Nioh Collection--are down to $60 right now. That's not a huge markdown, but it's the cheapest we've seen some of these games since they launched.

Meanwhile, PS4's older "PlayStation Hits" are back down to $10 each, as they usually are during Days of Play. Some of these are a harder sell than they've been in previous years due to the PS5's PlayStation Plus Collection, a group of games that are free to play for PS5 owners with PS Plus. That includes God of War, Until Dawn, Uncharted 4, and Bloodborne, to name a few, so you may not want to shell out $10 for those even if you haven't gotten your hands on a PS5 just yet (though there's certainly some value in owning a game physically, and you may want to start playing right away). However, there are still some $10 games not included in the PS Plus Collection, such as Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Gran Turismo Sport, Little Big Planet 3, and Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition (if you missed the recent giveaway).

Days of Play: Best PS Plus deals

Sony added PlayStation Plus deals to Days of Play a few days in, and they're fairly typical deals, dropping the price of a 12-month subscription to $45 at major retailers. However, the best PS Plus deals come via reseller sites like eBay and CDKeys. Shop these sites at your own discretion, of course, but we've tested the eBay deal ourselves, and the code you get redeems just fine in the PlayStation Store.

Days of Play: Best PS Now deals

Sony's cloud gaming service features in Days of Play as well, dropping the 3-month membership to $20 (from $25) and the one-year membership to $45 (from $60). Green Man Gaming, a reputable site that mostly sells PC game keys, has undercut the official deals by a couple of dollars, so it's worth taking advantage of the discounts there. PlayStation Now lets you stream hundreds of PS4, PS3, and PS2 games on demand, and new games get cycled in every month. They're playable on PS4, PS5, or PC.

Days of Play: Best PlayStation Store Deals

The PlayStation Store has kicked off a massive sale on PS4 and PS5 games for Days of Play, and you'll find a much bigger offering here: Over 400 digital games, bundles, DLC, and in-game currency are on sale. The same first-party PlayStation games are on sale for the same price if you prefer to buy digitally, but you can also take advantage of discounts on games both new and old from third-party studios, including Assassin's Creed Valhalla for $36, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War for $36, and Red Dead Redemption 2 for $30. Keep in mind PS Plus members save an extra 10% on some games as well. The following deals end June 10.

Days of Play: Best PSVR Deals

PlayStation Direct has exclusive deals on physical PSVR games right now, including Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, Blood & Truth, and Everybody's Golf VR. Last year's Iron Man VR is also down to $20 from $40. You can check out all the exclusive PSVR deals at PlayStation Direct.
